International Conscience Day is celebrated on April 5 to promote peace.
A global campaign for the Declaration of International Day of Conscience was launched at the United Nations, New York on February 5, 2019 by the Federation of World Peace and Love (FOWPAL).
The Kingdom of Bahrain had submitted a draft resolution titled “Promoting the Culture of Peace with Love and Conscience.” The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in its 73rd session, on July 25, 2019, adopted that draft resolution and declared April 5 as the International Day of Conscience.
Conscience is the ability of an individual to interpret wrong and right things. It is known as a state of awareness that one's actions or intentions are either morally right or wrong, along with a feeling of obligation to do the right thing, as per Merriam-Webster's dictionary.
